Eugene Ionesco
Translated by Derek Prouse Absurdist Comedy 11m, 6f, extras Multiple Sets The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of every theatre classroom and 20th century drama. A small town is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As more citizens are transformed into rhinoceroses, the trampling becomes overwhelming, and more and more citizens become rhinoceroses. One sane man, Berenger remains, unable to change his form and identity. "An allegory for our times."-The New York Times "Its satricical humor, combined with its provocative theme and surprisingly moving ending, results in an evening that is strange, disturbing and arresting."-New York Post Also available in RHINOCEROS AND OTHER PLAYS FEE: $75 per performance.
